El rol del docente y la igualdad de género en el aula de clases

Abstract

Gender equality, although much progress has been made in some aspects, there are still some gender gaps, so gender equality aims to have the same conditions, opportunities, procedures, among others, regardless of gender, especially in education. For this reason, the present research project seeks to determine the influence of the teacher's role and gender equality in the classroom, for which we worked through a descriptive correlational, quantitative approach. The cross-sectional survey instrument was used based on a validated questionnaire, which was applied to 110 seventh semester students of the careers of Social Work, Law and Social Communication of the Faculty of Jurisprudence and Social Sciences of the Technical University of Ambato, the questionnaire consists of two sections such as: the teaching role that has 10 questions and the gender equality section that has 11 questions, the same that was applied online using the Google Forms platform. Once the results were applied and analyzed by means of a statistical program and the Excel application for the elaboration of the scale table and the triangulation of data through the bibliographic review of other research, it is concluded that the teacher teaches in values, participatory, flexible, collaborative and interactive, and also encourages the autonomous work of the students through an integral, transversal training and pedagogical innovation, which implies achieving a quality and inclusive education. In addition, both men and women stated that the average level of gender equality predominates in the classroom. Finally, it is evident that the role of the teacher influences gender equality in the classroom, so the role of the teacher and the educational institution plays a very important role in minimizing these gaps and making this longed-for gender equality a reality.
